Congratulations on your decision
to come to Georgia Tech. You’ve already
made one of the most important decisions of
your life, and you’ve chosen one of the best
institutions in the country. As leaders of the
Greek community, we’re excited about the
potential in this year’s incoming freshman
class. During your time in college, you will
have many exciting learning experiences,
but none so complete, well-rounded, and
long-remembered as that of being a member
of a Greek organization. Even though you
may have no intention of joining a Greek
organization, it is worth your time and effort
to go through the recruitment process in
order to meet new people and learn more
about the different facets of the Georgia Tech
community as a whole.
As a potential member, we ask that
you keep an open mind and base your
decision on your personal opinions and not
those of friends, relatives, other potential
members, or stereotypes you may have

heard or formed. Joining a fraternity or
sorority is a lifelong decision that will be
one of the most rewarding experiences of
your life. There is a chapter for everyone,
but what is right for your friends or family
members may not be the right choice for
you. Additionally, fraternities and sororities
today are vastly different from stereotypes
you may have seen or heard of in the past.
Even from campus to campus, individual
chapters carry a personality all their own,
and it is up to you to choose the organization
that best represents your ideals and values.
New members of Greek organizations enter
a community of leaders, academic achievers,
philanthropists, and a social circle of friends
that is unmatched by any other experience. No matter what group you choose,
the friendships you form will be lifelong.
We encourage you to visit our website for
more information about summer events
and contact information. If you have any
additional questions, feel free to contact us.

Advice From the Top
From the Advisors
Summ
er 201
You have already taken the first step to joining a Greek organization by looking through
this book. If you aren’t sure Greek Life is for you, or if you don't even know what it is, keep
this in mind:
There is a Greek organization for you!
Not everyone thinks of "going Greek" when they come to Tech. It is only once they
experience recruitment that they realize Greek Life is for them. You must always keep in
mind there are over 50 chapters to choose from, each one unique. There is one chapter
out there that will make you feel like you have a home away from home. Find the fit
for you, and you will begin the most well-rounded and memorable college experience
possible. Greeks are proven to have a happier experience at Tech, and none have regrets
of "going Greek."

Who we are...
The Greek Community
Academics
The Greek community at Georgia Tech
realizes that excelling in academics is the
top priority of every student. Each Greek
organization has its own unique way of
encouraging and rewarding superior
academic performance. Chapters, as well as
the four Greek governing boards, sponsor
various educational programs and awards.
Programs may include time management
and study skills seminars, scheduled study
hours with free tutoring, organized study
groups, or advice on courses and professors.
Order of Omega, a Greek honor society,
also inspires Greeks to reach their highest
potential by rewarding academic excellence.
We take academics seriously, and it
shows through our accomplishments as
a community. Retention and graduation
rates are higher for Greeks. As members of
the Greek community, we stand firm in our
dedication to good scholarship and believe
that educational success at Georgia Tech
prepares men and women for personal and
professional success.
A grade report for the entire Greek
community is available on pages 98 and 99.

Leadership
The Greek community develops members by
offering many executive board leadership
positions - either in their individual chapter,
or through a Greek governing council. .
Throughout your years in a fraternity or
sorority, skills are gained through a variety
of experiences. In addition to involvement
within their chapters, Greek students learn
leadership qualities through on-campus and
co-op jobs or internships, varsity athletics,
and other student organizations. Being
involved in a Greek organization also allows
networking to increase involvement, and
as a result, many leadership positions on
Georgia Tech’s campus are held by members
of the Greek community.
Quick Facts:

Non-Greek: 94.7%

Non-Greek: 80.0%

* As of April 2014 statistics
Athletics
Athletics are an integral part of Greek
Life at Tech as many chapters participate
in Tech’s intramural sports program.
Over 20 different sports are offered
throughout the year. Fraternities and
sororities compete in their own league
for the Greek championship, then advance
to play other non-Greek teams in the
school championship rounds. In addition
to intramural sports, Greek chapters
receive block-seating at all home football
games. This guarantees you a seat in the
same section of the stadium with others
from your chapter, so you never have to
worry about standing in line to get a seat!
Philanthropy
Every national fraternity or sorority has
a designated charity or philanthropy that
they regularly sponsor. Each local Georgia
Tech chapter participates in projects which
support their national organization’s cause:
everything from Toys for Tots to Multiple
Sclerosis. Greeks come together for large
scale philanthropy projects throughout the
year. Greeks assist with multiple projects
during Homecoming and Greek Week that
range from painting schools and planting
flowers to volunteering at homeless shelters
and repairing local parks. In addition,
Greeks at Georgia Tech hosted a Habitat for
Humanity Build for a family in need in the
Atlanta Community. In the spring, Greeks
participate in Dance Marathon and the
American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
At Georgia Tech, Greeks feel it is important
to contribute their time and efforts to their
community, as everyone is able to learn
and grow through serving others.

The Greek Community
Greek Terminology
Alumni
Social
Greek Terms
Greek organizations have been on Georgia
Tech’s campus for over 125 years. Since
the first fraternity was chartered in 1888,
thousands of young men and women
have been initiated into Georgia Tech’s
numerous fraternities and sororities.
In addition to academic and leadership
opportunities, Greek organizations provide
a balance to the academic rigors of Georgia
Tech with a full social schedule. Social events
include semi-formals, formals, date nights,
parents’ weekends, alumni gatherings,
and step shows. Entire fraternities and
sororities come together at mixers for
a night of socializing, fun, and meeting
new people. Mixers increase the sense of
community within the Greek system. Each
of these events is organized and planned
with enjoyment as well as safety in mind;
each organization follows a responsible
social policy laid out by Georgia Tech, our
student governing boards, and national
risk management policies.
Bid - an invitation to join a fraternity or
sorority chapter. Bid policies differ for
fraternities and sororities
Fraternity and sorority alumni stay active
with their respective local and national
chapters, as well as the Institute, long after
they have completed their degrees at Tech.
Although alumni support Georgia Tech and
their chapters financially, they also act as
mentors and serve as great examples for
undergraduate members. Greek alumni
demonstrate how fraternity or sorority
association can equip its members with the
skills to excel personally and professionally.
10
“It’s Greek to Me”...
When you graduate, alumni networks
generate valuable resources that can
assist you in finding a great job and much
more. Alumni networks reach far beyond
individual chapters and across various
geographies. Imagine how it will feel to be
able to go anywhere in the United States
(and even beyond) and have automatic
connections through a fraternity or
sorority!

Parents:
How You Can Help
Georgia Tech is home to over 50 fraternities and sororities. Naturally, this can seem
a little overwhelming to students when they
consider the options as they decide which
chapter is right for them. A fraternity/sorority offers a wonderful support system that
can help your student with everything from
adjusting to the academic rigors of Georgia
Tech to finding a “home away from home.”
Upperclassmen in fraternities and sororities
have been through many, if not all, of the
situations that your student will experience
as a student at Georgia Tech; an eager careerseeker, and more generally, a young adult
living in the city of Atlanta. Fraternity and
sorority members can provide invaluable
advice to help your student make good
choices that will ensure their future success.
However, the active members of a chapter
are not the only source of guidance. Most
chapters have vast alumni networks that can
open many doors to future opportunities.
Many famous Tech graduates are alumni of
fraternities and sororities at Georgia Tech.
12
If your student is considering “going Greek,”
remember that what you may have seen
on television or in movies is very about
misleading what being “Greek” really means.
In addition, your time in college will be
drastically different than what your student
may experience. If you still have reservations
with allowing your student to join a fraternity
or sorority, contact the Office of Greek Affairs
or the Parents Program Office. Families
also find great information by reaching out
to chapter advisors and other parents of a
student in the fraternities/sororities who
can tell you about their experiences.
Be a Support System
As a parent or family member, there is
a lot you can do for your student during
their Georgia Tech fraternity or sorority
experience. Deciding which organization to
join can certainly produce excitement and
a bit of anxiety. You can be there to counsel
them through their decision to join.
• Check in with your student during the
recruitment process.
• Talk with your student about all of their
options to join, even if those options do
not include their friends’ choices.
• Discuss reasons for joining the group:
opportunity to engage in service/
philanthropy, social support, impact on
academics, etc.
• Consider the financial obligations of
joining a fraternity/sorority.
• If you are an alumnus/a member of a
fraternity/sorority, be supportive and
understanding if your student chooses an
organization other than your own.
www.parents.gatech.edu
Get Involved
If your student decides to join, you are
encouraged to be involved in the chapter
experience. Many parents and families
choose to get involved in a variety of ways:
• Ask your student about their new
brothers or sisters.
• Be supportive of your student’s choice
to join a fraternity/sorority.
• Visit the chapter’s website and the
official website of the fraternity/sorority
headquarters.
• Review the fraternity/sorority mission,
values, and tenants of membership.
• Encourage your student to take a
leadership role in their chapter.
• Know the grade requirements for new
and active members.
• Attend Family Weekend events for the
fraternity/sorority and the Institute.
• Join or start a Parents Club.
• Encourage your student to take
advantage of chapter resources, and
scholarships.
• Encourage your student to attend
educational programs in the chapter
and on campus.
• Know the contact information for the
chapter, your student’s big brother/big
sister, fraternity/sorority Headquarters,
and the Office of Greek Affairs.
Staff at Georgia Tech
At no time should your student’s
membership detract from their academic
performance, job or co-op duties, nor their
ability to be a successful student at Tech.
Unfortunately, there are activities that can
be divisive to the growth and development of
your student. Alcohol misuse and hazing are
issues that plague fraternities and sororities
across the United States and Canada. At Tech,
we work diligently to address these issues
in the community. However, our institution
appreciates your support in reporting these
issues. If you have questions or concerns,
please feel free to contact the Office of Greek
Affairs, the Parents Program Office or the
specific fraternity/sorority headquarters.

Q. How has your Greek affiliation had a
positive impact on your Georgia Tech
experience?
Being a member of a fraternity defined my college
experience. Early on, it provided the support
network I needed to help transition from high
school to college. My fraternity challenged me to
put the right time into school early on, become
active on campus, and find a balanced social
life. Georgia Tech can be challenging, but the
support network I developed through joining
a fraternity helped me establish my priorities
and push me towards success. By providing the
responsibilities as well as the support network
to take on big challenges, I was able to develop
my leadership skills, communication skills, and
grow as a person. Ultimately, being able to join
a fraternity at Georgia Tech provided me with
an incredible group of friends that have defined
my college memories. They have shown me
a diverse set of perspectives and constantly
challenged me to be the best man that I can be
and I credit my Greek experience for pushing
me to apply to Harvard Business School, and
giving me the skills I needed to be accepted.
Q. How has your Greek affiliation helped
you to become more involved in other
activities at Georgia Tech?
Joining the Greek community helped show me
the incredible variety of opportunities that
exist for every Georgia Tech student. Had I not
been able to meet so many individuals so early
on, it would have been challenging to see the
variety of clubs and organizations that exist
at Tech and find groups that I am passionate
about. My fraternity brothers encouraged me
Information about the Interfraternity Council on page 56.
Ben Sullivan
to join the GT Student Ambassadors, which
was a fantastic opportunity to give back to Tech
and learn about everything that Tech does for
its students and the community. Being Greek
also gave me the confidence that I needed to
apply for Omicron Delta Kappa Leadership
Honor Society or to be a teaching assistant for
CS 1371, where I became the Head Teaching
Assistant for a group of 50 undergraduate TA’s
serving nearly 1000 students. Without joining
a Greek organization, I do not believe I would
have challenged myself to make an impact in
area that mattered to me.
Q:What advice would you give to incoming
Freshmen?
My advice would be to find a chapter where you
feel like the members help you to be a better
version of yourself. For me, my fraternity
provided a diverse range of perspectives, which
helped me figure out who I was and what my
priorities were. Ultimately, if you are just being
you, you will find a chapter that can really help
positively define your college experience and
beyond. For me, the constant, new challenges
that the Fraternity presented helped guide my
career decisions, and made me want to become
a consultant.

Q: How has your Greek affiliation had
a positive impact on your Georgia Tech
experience?
As a member of the Xi Alpha Chapter of Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., I’ve developed an
incredible bond with my sisters. The support
and encouragement we give one another is
priceless and has greatly helped me excel
at Georgia Tech. Serving two presidential
terms in my chapter challenged me to refine
my leadership style and prepared me to be
a high-performing group member in my
project-based classes. The mentorship from
Xi Alpha alumnae and exposure to regional
and national leadership within my sorority
inspired me as an undergraduate. Seeing
such strong examples of women active in
their communities motivated me to be the
same. I was empowered to take action on
Georgia Tech’s campus through public service
initiatives.
Q: What advice would you give to incoming
Freshmen?
I encourage all incoming freshmen to begin
their Georgia Tech journeys with an optimistic
mindset and clean slate. Freshmen year is a
time of discovery and transition, so be open
to learning new things about yourself and the
world around you! I challenge each incoming
freshman to try something new during their
first few months at Tech, whether it’s eating
food from another culture or playing a sport
you’ve never heard of. Above all, remember
your first priority is being a dedicated student.
If you build that academic foundation as a
freshman, it will open so many doors for you
in the future. Finally, if you choose to become
a part of Georgia Tech’s Greek community,
realize you are a voice in one of the most
influential communities on campus. Welcome
to Georgia Tech, and get ready for some of the
best years of your life!
Q: How have you been able to balance your
workload with your Greek involvement?
For me, my involvement in Delta Sigma Theta
is infused into my daily responsibilities. I
allocate time to complete my sorority duties
the same way in which I schedule time for my
engineering coursework. My sorority has very
high standards for scholastic achievement,
so dropping the ball academically is never an
option. Delta Sigma Theta’s goals align with
my personal goals, so it’s common for my
Greek involvement to overlap with all other
areas of my life. Deltas are charged to uplift
communities, raise awareness of injustices,
and be change agents. Public service requires
hard work! So my Greek involvement is not a
social break. It’s social action.

Q. How has your Greek affiliation affected
your life here at Georgia Tech?
Being involved with Greek life at Tech has
been a great avenue for making new friends
and even helped me land a job. When I first
came to Tech, I was very soft-spoken and
had trouble talking in front of large groups
of people. My Greek affiliation has helped
me to develop a repertoire of soft skills that
have propelled me through my undergrad
career. My affiliation has helped me to
become more confident and I have plenty to
talk about during interviews when it comes
to my community and my impact on it.
Q. What inspired you to join a Multicultural
Fraternity?
Georgia Tech boasts one of the most
culturally diverse college campuses in
the Southeast. Becoming a member of
this community grants you the chance to
experience cultures besides one’s own. For
me, joining a multicultural fraternity was
a defining moment in my college career. I
have had the unique opportunity to learn
about other cultures from a first person
perspective. Something that I take great
pride in is the uniqueness of the Multicultural
Greek Council and the inclusiveness of its
community.
Q. How were you able to balance
schoolwork with your involvement in the
Greek community?
Schoolwork and being involved with Greek
life actually has a lot of overlap. Having

NPHC Spotlight
brothers from my fraternity and members of
other Greek organizations in classes with me has
provided me with a large network of friends to
study with. This support network has driven me
to do well in my classes. Our Greek council even
has study hours and reserves study rooms during
finals’ week. Granted, balancing schoolwork and
any extracurricular still requires a lot of effort,
but there is a great support system in place and
Greek life also teaches you how to better manage
your time.
Q. What advice would you give to incoming
freshmen?
My advice for incoming freshmen would be to
get out and experience college. Join a club or an
organization that you’re interested in. No matter
how niche you think your interests are, there
will always be others with the same interests,
go seek them out. Additionally, you should get
out of your comfort zone. Once you put yourself
out there, you really develop as a person. These
are the times that can really shape who you
will become, so you should get out there and
experience as much as you can.

Q. How has your Greek affiliation
affected your life here at Tech?
When I first came to Georgia Tech, I looked
up to leaders in the Greek Community
because of the impact they had on campus.
Joining a sorority has been one of the most
beneficial experiences I have had during my
time at Tech. Women from my chapter, as
well as the greater CPC community, served
as mentors, confidantes, and friends. I
have also had the pleasure of working
with women from every sorority through a
variety of campus involvements including
Freshmen Orientation programs, Ramblin’
Reck Club, and volunteer opportunities. The
inspiring women that make up the Greek
Community here at Georgia Tech create a
community full of support and love of which
I am proud to call myself a member.
Q. How do you think Greek life reflects
your values?
As a freshman, I was looking for somewhere
to develop my leadership skills, have access to

philanthropy opportunities, and be inspiried
and empowered. I found all that and more
in Greek Life and the CPC Communtity. You
can see our community’s values reflected
through the CPC philanthropy, Circle of
Sisterhood, which seeks to remove barriers
to education for girls around the world. This
philanthropy resonates with Georgia Tech
women because we values and prioritize our
education. At a school that is mostly made of
men, the CPC Community enables women to
feel smart, confident, and supported.
Q. What advice would you give to incoming
freshmen?
Take advantage of all the opportunities
presented to you at Georgia Tech. Leave
your dorm room, try new things, and get
our of your comfort zone. Most importantly,
appreciate and learn from all of the
incredible people at Goergia Tech. The
people, especially the ones that make up
the Greek community, have been what have
made my time at school so amazing.

Council
The
Panhellenic
Creed
Every woman who joins a Panhellenic
sorority also becomes a member of the
Collegiate Panhellenic Council (CPC).
CPC is the governing body for the nine
sororities on Georgia Tech’s campus and
unites all of its members regardless of
affiliation. CPC and our members work
to make the Greek community a positive
influence on campus and in the community.
Each member sorority has a delegate on
the CPC governing board, which is led by
seven Executive Board members. CPC is
responsible for promoting scholarship,
philanthropy, personal growth, safety, and
campus involvement among all sorority
members. CPC women strive to live by the
Panhellenic Creed and embody high ideals
in all that they do.
We, as Undergraduate Members of women’s
fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for
guarding of good health, for maintenance
of fine standards, and for serving, to the
best of our ability, our college community.
Cooperation for furthering fraternity life,
in harmony with its best possibilities, is the
ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities.
We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service
through the development of character
inspired by the close contact and deep
friendship of individual fraternity and
Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide
and wise human service, through mutual
respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which
we strive to live.

Formal
Recruitment
Formal Recruitment is the process by which
the seven National Panhellenic Conference
sororities recruit new members. Every
fall, CPC organizes Formal Recruitment by
overseeing the invitation and bid matching
process, establishing recruitment standards,
and selecting Pi Chi’s - your Panhellenic
recruitment counselors. In the next few
pages we will explain the recruitment
process to you and what a fun experience it
will be!
CPC Formal Recruitment requires interested
women to register on the CPC website. All
seven National Panhellenic Conference
sororities will receive each potential new
member’s application. A non-refundable
application fee is charged to all registrants.
The registration fee is $75 until August 1st.
After that, the registration fee will increase
to $85. Registration will remain open until
4:00PM on Thursday, August 13th.
Why should I join
a CPC sorority?
There are so many benefits that come with
joining a CPC chapter. CPC women build
friendships while in college that last a
lifetime. In addition to gaining an incredible
support system, being a member of a CPC
chapter enriches your college experience
through countless opportunities to serve
others and to become a more well-rounded
woman.
Our CPC chapters participate in philanthropy
events and fundraising projects throughout
the year to better our community and our
world. CPC supports its own philanthropy,
Circle of Sisterhood, which raises money for
global education and support for women. All
women in the CPC community are dedicated
to helping others and making a positive
impact on our Georgia Tech community.

Basics
Chapter Finances
Though financial commitment is necessary, joining a sorority comes with many benefits. Sorority
housing generally costs less than on or off campus housing, and several of the initial fees are just
one time fees. There are many opportunities within each chapter to find ways to help with the
costs of being in a sorority. Collegiate Panhellenic Chapters give out approximately $5,000 in
scholarships each year. Please be sure to ask each chapter on Day 2 of recruitment about fees as
well as check out their websites. All costs below are approximate.

Formal Recruitment
What to expect...
During this day you will visit each of the seven
chapters for 30 minutes. Conversations will
be short and light-hearted. Make sure you tell
the sisters about yourself, and feel free to ask
questions about the sorority and Greek life in
general. Maintain a positive outlook throughout
all the parties, and do not set your mind on one
chapter before Recruitment or during Round
One. Keeping an open mind is the best way to
ensure that you go to the house where you are
happiest!
What to wear...
Day one dress is casual and comfortable. We will
provide everyone with a recruitment t-shirt to
wear on this day. The shirts will be handed out at
the kick-off ceremony on Thursday, August 13th.
Shorts should be worn with the t-shirt. All of the
chapter members will be wearing their jerseys,
which are t-shirts with their Greek letters on them.
You will be walking to many houses, so comfortable
shoes such as sandals are a must.
Questions to ask yourself ...
Would I like to get to know these women better?
Did I feel welcome when I walked through the
door? Were the members pleasant and friendly?
About Rounds
Day Four
Sisterhood
Night
Photo: Diane Lin
What to expect...
During this day you will visit up to six chapters.
The second day of events is philanthropy day.
Each party lasts 35 minutes. The chapters will
introduce you to their philanthropy and all of
the different things they do both on campus and
nationally to further their casuses. The atmosphere will be very relaxed; ask questions you
might have about the philanthropy within the
sorority as well as on campus. Today, you and the
sisters should be able to know each other better.
You may get a tour of the house on this day and
financial information will be presented.
What to expect...
During this day you will visit up to four chapters.
The events are longer and more personal. You
will see a skit, which is meant to tell you more
about the chapter, and you may talk with people you have previously met. The atmosphere
is much more personal; ask any questions you
might still have about the sorority and its members. Trust your feelings and begin thinking
about which chapter you feel you would fit in
best. Consider where you feel most comfortable,
and do not rely on the opinions of others.
Questions to ask yourself...
Do I feel comfortable with these women? Are
they genuine? What can I gain from membership
in this group and what can I contribute? Can I
afford the financial commitment to this sorority?
Questions to ask yourself...
Am I still comfortable with the sisters I have
met? Can I call these women my sisters? Do they
stress the values that are important to me?
What to wear...
Skirts, nice shorts, or summer sundresses are recommended. You will be moving through the houses
so be sure to wear clothes that are comfortable and
easy to move in. Comfortable sandals are appropriate footwear for Day Two as well.
www.panhellenic.gatech.edu
What to wear...
Outfits on Day Three are a little nicer than before.
Skirts, dresses, or pant outfits that you might wear
to a banquet or religious service are recommended.
Sandals, flats or comfrotable wedges are appropriate footwear. You will be doing some walking this
day, so be sure to be comfortable.
What to expect...
This round is called Preferential (Pref) because
you will be attending up to two chapters and
making the final decision about which sorority
you would prefer. Each sorority has a different
ritual or ceremony they will present, and the
sisters will be telling you what their sorority
means to them. This round can get very
emotional. Keep an open mind, reflect back
over the last few days, and ask any questions
you may have. It may be difficult to choose
between chapters, but remember what is most
important to you and the values each chapter
demonstrated. Consider all of your options and
go where YOU will be most happy.
What to wear...
A nice dress that you would wear to a wedding
or a similar special event would be appropriate.
Semi-formal or formal (prom type) dresses are
too dressy. Try to avoid anything low cut or revealing. You will only be visiting 1-2 houses, so
you may wear comfortable heels if you want.
Questions to ask yourself...
What do I want in a sorority and are these
qualities and values present in this chapter? Do I want these women to be my sisters?

Frequently Asked Questions
If I go through Recruitment, am I
obligated to join?
No, many women choose to go through Recruitment
to meet people and make new friends. Recruitment
is an opportunity for you to visit the sororities, get a
glimpse of Greek life, and assess whether or not you
would like to join the Greek community. You may
choose to stop the process at any point.
What should I talk about during
Recruitment events?
It is important to be yourself during Recruitment and
let the conversation flow naturally. The sororities
are presenting themselves to you just as you are
presenting yourself to them. Ask questions so you
can make comparisons and decisions. During Round
One you will mostly talk about yourself—where
you went to high school, what you were involved in,
how your summer went and your intended major.
The most important thing to remember is to just be
yourself.
During Round Two, Philanthropy Day, the sisters
will be telling you about each chapter’s involvement
in service as well as other specific activities in which
each house partakes. Remember to keep asking
questions during this round since you will have to
be narrowing down your choices in the next round.
During Rounds Three and Four, conversations will
become more serious. Sororities want to make sure
that you know all about them, and you will want to
know as much as you can too. It is in these rounds
that you want to make sure the sorority women get
to know you more. Remember to keep in mind what
values are important to you as you are making your
selections.
26
What should I expect my Recruitment days to
be like?
Recruitment can be tiring both physically and
emotionally. However, you decide how positive a
recruitment experience you will have. Keeping a
good attitude and an open mind are vital. Although
small talk may become repetitive, every chapter is
a new chapter and you should approach each with a
fresh outlook. Focus on sororities that are inviting
you back rather than on any disappointments.
What if I’m shy?
Just be yourself! Every sorority wants members
with a variety of personalities. Each member of a
sorority contributes her own individual talents to
the chapter. Just keep in mind that it is up to you to
present yourself to each sorority. Smile and feel free
to talk. There is no reason to feel insecure; sororities
want to impress you as much as you want to impress
them, maybe even more!
What if I have trouble choosing sororities?
Difficult decisions are common, but you should not
look at this as a problem. Most women would be
happy at more than one chapter on campus. Think
about what each sorority has to offer you. A sorority
should feel like a second home, a place where you feel
totally comfortable and welcome. Your experiences
at each party and personal beliefs and values should
guide you to the groups that are right for you.
What is a bid?
A bid is an invitation to join a National Panhellenic
Conference sorority. Bids are given out on the final
day of Recruitment: Bid Day! You can only receive
one bid and must choose to accept or deny that
sorority’s invitation.
www.panhellenic.gatech.edu
What if I turn down a bid I receive?
If you turn down your bid, you will not be able
to participate in Recruitment for one calendar
year, and you will not be able to participate in
Continuous Open Bidding. Think before deciding!
Emotions tend to temporarily cloud your thinking
and judgement. Give yourself and the sorority a
chance before rejecting a bid.
8. PNMs and sorority women cannot be friends on
Facebook until after Formal Recruitment is over.
9. No PNMs should visit sorority property except
during scheduled Recruitment functions.

“Seek the Noblest”
Zeta Tau Alpha presents you with a group of
women who will celebrate your victories, share
your sorrows, and encourage you to succeed.
Consistent with our Founders’ thoughts in 1898,
our primary purpose is to create a sisterhood
with life long friendships. Our hope is to carry
on this tradition of sisterhood as we abide by
our motto and “seek the noblest.” Our sisters
are dedicated to supporting the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation through collecting
pink Yoplait lids for the Save Lids to Save Lives
campaign. We are proud that our chapter has
collected the most lids out of any Zeta chapter
nationwide for the past eight years. We also
spread breast cancer awareness by hosting a golf
tournament in the fall and poker tournament
every spring. Throughout the year, Zeta
enjoys a busy social calendar with our annual
White Violet Semiformal, Crown Ball Formal,
Senior Soirée, crush parties, date nights, and
mixers. Zeta can provide you with leadership
opportunities, scholastic support, and bonds
that will grow beyond your years at Tech. Our
sisterhood is a lifetime of commitment, support,
and opportunity. It marks the beginning of
a relationship that lasts beyond our college
years. We are excited about welcoming another
fabulous group of women.
Associate Member
Chapter Recruitment
CPC has two associate member chapters, Alpha Delta Chi and Alpha Omega Epsilon.
Associate member are not National Panhellenic Conference groups, but they are recognized
by Georgia Tech as sororities governed by CPC. Associate chapter members enjoy similar
events, programming, and socials as NPC sororities and participate in many CPC and Greek
activities on campus. Alpha Delta Chi is a national Christian sorority, and Alpha Omega
Epsilon is a national social engineering and technical sciences sorority. While they do not
fully participate in Formal Recruitment, both will be present on Day One if you would like
to learn more and meet their sisters. Alpha Delta Chi and Alpha Omega Epsilon will then
conduct their own, separate Informal Recruitments during the second week of school.
Want to learn more? Attend the Associate Member Recruitment Kick-off Event!
Sunday, August 23rd at 7:00 pm
Location: Student Center Theater
Information, Snacks, and Fun!
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is Informal Recruitment different than Formal
Recruitment? It is a less-structured process that
involves events and socials where you will be able to
meet the members of the Associate Chapters. Examples
of events include info sessions, game nights, professional
nights, and ice cream socials. Just like formal recruitment,
the process is about a week long and ends with a bid day,
but the process itself is much more informal .
2. Who can participate in Informal Recruitment? Alpha
Omega Epsilon accepts women who are engineering
majors, as well as computational media, computer
science, biochemistry, and chemistry majors. Alpha Delta
Chi accepts Christian women of any major.

Informal Recruitment event? Don’t worry, you can
still participate! If you have a conflict, we encourage
you to contact the Associate Chapters’ recruitment
chair (contact information can be found on each of their

Tech’s campus. Established on December 8,
2006, our council is the youngest of the four
Greek Councils on campus and currently

the council supports as they preserve the
cultural diversity of the community. Our council
not only helps its constituent members express
their own diversity, but also acts as a venue for
further understanding and appreciation of the
culture of all individuals.
While these organizations are oriented
towards a certain culture, each is open to
membership from any race or ethnicity.
The specific recruitment process for each
organization is conducted individually by each
of the fraternities and sororities. The specific
dates of the process are determined and
announced by the individual chapters shortly
prior to the start of the school year. Contact
information and websites of each organization
are shown in the following chapter pages. If
you have any questions about our recruitment
process or the Greek Community in general,
please feel free to contact the recruitment
chair of each organization, or member of the
executive board of the council.
Our Diversity
The purpose of the Multicultural Greek Council,
and each member organization, is to educate
the community about diversity and various
cultures represented in today’s community. Our
council motto is “Unity in Diversity,” because
though our council consists of a spectrum of
organizations, we pride ourselves on our ability
to respect each individual and see one another
as members of a large family.

What is IFC?
What is Rush?
If you have visited Georgia Tech, you have most
likely seen over 30 houses around East Campus
that are adorned with Greek letters. Twentyeight of these are IFC fraternity houses. We
also have four IFC fraternities that do not have
a physical on-campus residence. The other
eight Greek letter houses on campus are CPC
sororities (see pg. 19 for more information).
Rush is a week-long opportunity to learn about
the Georgia Tech community and meet many of
your fellow Ramblin Wrecks. You might already
know you want to join a fraternity. You might
have never even considered joining a fraternity
at any point in your life. That’s OK.
IFC stands for Interfraternity Council, and as
an organization it serves as an advocate and
governing board for its 32 chapters at Georgia
Tech. You can learn more about the details of
this on our website at fraternity.gatech.edu.
The members of these 32 fraternities make
up the membership of IFC, and they represent
the largest population of students within the
Georgia Tech Greek community by a substantial
margin. These men are come from all across
the country and some from across the globe to
study all of the various academic programs GT
has to offer.

There is absolutely no commitment involved in
Rush Week. It’s very casual, and you can go at
your own pace. You just show up to fraternity
houses or events (after you have registered, see
the next page for more information), eat free
food, and talk to people.
Of course, with 32 chapters, there is a lot of variety in our Greek community at Georgia Tech,
and when you find a fraternity that you like, and
that fraternity likes you, a fraternity might give
you a bid (which is an invitation to join their
chapter).

Fraternities Today
Why join a fraternity?
Values
In general, the crucial difference between
a fraternity and any other typical student
organization is that fraternities are based on strong
values. Whether our organizations are brand new
or 125 years old, all of them find success in aligning
their actions with their values.
Friendship
College represents an opportunity to make friends
that you will have for the rest of your life. Whether
or not you join, the Georgia Tech IFC community
offers you an awesome opportunity to make
new friends, both freshmen and upperclassmen,
through the experience of Rush Week. If you do
join, you can look forward to a rewarding social life
integrated with the culture and traditions of the
Institute.
Academics
At Georgia Tech, the Greek community consistently
maintains a higher GPA than the non-Greek
community. For a breakdown of these statistics in
detail, go to greek.gatech.edu.
Leadership
Fraternities offer both internal leadership
opportunities because they themselves need strong
leaders, but also external leadership opportunities.
Greek men and women represent the vast majority
of campus leadership positions. As such, Greek
Life can sometimes be a springboard for other
involvement opportunities on campus.
Philanthropy
58
The fraternal values of our community lead us
to many philanthropic and service endeavors
within the Georgia Tech and Atlanta community.
Fraternities provide a great outlet to continue or
to build a passion for serving others and making a
difference in the world.
Athletics
Fraternities compete against each other in
fraternity-only leagues in intramural sports, but
also compete against other groups, particularly in
the playoffs. Most of the time, the competition is
fierce, but more importantly, it is always fun and a
great way to relieve stress.
No Hazing
Every fraternity has outlawed hazing in any form,
and all have stated that hazing is contrary to the
ideals of Fraternity. In the State of Georgia, hazing
is a criminal offense. IFC and the Georgia Tech
administration are unconditionally opposed to
any situation created to produce mental and/or
physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment
or ridicule.
Social Responsibility
During the week of rush, all fraternity houses and
events are required to be free from any alcohol,
and IFC patrols each chapter to ensure compliance
with this rule. Every fraternity has also expressly
stated that underage or excessive drinking by any
of its members is not acceptable. New members
participate in a community education seminar
after joining to build awareness of this issue.
IFC fraternity parties are regulated by clear and
reasonable policies that keep our community safe.
Costs
New students are often worried about the
monetary costs of fraternity. This is something you
should discuss with each fraternity individually.
Many times it is possible that joining a fraternity
can lower costs over the course of your college
tenure.

Recruitment
Registration for Rush is
Required. Link is available at
fraternity.gatech.edu.
Before You Start School
Summer Rush
If you are in or near the Atlanta area this
summer, you may be invited to rush events
by fraternities. This is a great way to get
head start on Rush Week and start getting
to know some fraternity men. Please note
that these events should not involve alcohol
in any way, and we encourage all potential
new members to meet multiple fraternities
before making a final decision about joining.
Required Registration
You are required to register for Rush
Week online at fraternity.gatech.edu. It is
completely free and it can only help you
by giving fraternities a way to learn more
about you and potentially contact you.
There is no obligation to participate after
you have registered, but is a great way to get
information and updates about the process.
60
IFC at FASET
You can meet IFC and learn more about
us and all of Georgia Tech Greek Life at
FASET Orientation. Come to our “Greek Life
101” breakout session to get background
information and helpful statistics. You will
hear about GT Greek Life right from the
source! Also, please visit our tables at the
Opportunities at Tech involvement fair and
at Marketplace. This will give you the chance
to meet us on a more individual basis and
ask us more specific questions.
IFC after FASET
After each freshman FASET session, you will
find tables set up on Fifth Street Bridge in
between the Greek Sector and Tech Square
(see map, pg. 64). You and/or your parents
can come meet representatives from many of
our IFC chapters in an open and welcoming
environment!

Tips for Rush
Week
Things to
Remember
1) Keen an open mind. Many people that

guide/15894/. The redemption code is
HwnIYLh8hn.
end up joining a fraternity did not plan on it
before they came to college. Rush is a great
opportunity to see if going Greek is a good
fit for you.
2) Be yourself. The fraternity wants to get to
know the real you; don’t feel overwhelmed
if the they ask you a lot of questions. They
want to get to know you as much as you want
to get to know them.
3) Do your homework. Check out greek.
gatech.edu, this Guide, and chapter websites.
Being prepared for Rush will help you get the
most out of it.
4) Don’t get discouraged. There are 32
chapters. If you haven’t found one you like, keep
looking. You do not have to make a decision this
week, or even this semester.
5) Use the narrow down approach. First,
select 10-15 chapters through research and the
Kick-Off tabling event. Then, visit between 5-10
chapters during the first two days of rush. In
days three and four, invest more time with the
ones you connect with most as you narrow
down your final choices throughout the week.
2) Register for rush at fraternity.gatech.edu.
3) There should be no alcohol present at any
rush activities, on campus or off campus. If
there is alcohol present, please notify the
Office of Greek Affairs.
4) No fraternity endorses or condones any
form of hazing. If you experience hazing,
please notify the Office of Greek Affairs.
5) Not all our IFC fraternities have houses
on campus. Rush Week is about meeting and
getting to know people, regardless of where
they live.
6) There are a lot of stereotypes out there
about fraternities. Rush Week is your
opportunity to meet Fraternity Men and
determine your own opinion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the bid
process work?
A bid is an official invitation to join a
fraternity as an associate member or
pledge. There is no “bid day” or official
bidding period ­— a fraternity can give
a bid at any time according to its policy.
While it can vary from chapter to chapter,
a fraternity will generally give you a bid if
they feel you could be a good fit for their
chapter. Bids are generally good for the
entire semester, but a majority accept their
bid soon after receiving it. You may receive
bids from many different fraternities and
then decide where you fit best. Do not
feel pressured into accepting the first bid
you receive. You don’t have to accept a bid
if you don’t feel a particular fraternity is
right for you.
Do I have to become a
brother if I accept my bid?
No. The pledge period is a time for you
to get to know the fraternity and for the
fraternity to get to know you. Both have
the option of ending the pledge period
with no further obligation at any time if
situations arise.
62
Will I get hazed?
No fraternity pledge program involves
hazing, and chapters face serious
consequences for hazing pledges or
brothers. IFC and Georgia Tech have
developed strict guidelines to make the
pledge process as safe as possible.
How long is the pledge
period, and what is it?
Pledge periods vary in length, but are
generally two to three months long. During
that time, you will learn the history of the
fraternity, get to know the brothers and
other pledges, and participate in service
projects, intramurals, socials, date nights,
mixers, and other aspects of fraternity life.
What if I don’t have time?
While you are expected to become
involved and participate in events with
the fraternity, they realize that you are
also adjusting to college life. You will most
likely be expected to attend at least one
pledge education meeting a week as well
as have the opportunity to go to other
events with the chapter. Depending on the
chapter, they might require you to eat some
of your meals at the house.
www.fraternity.gatech.edu
If anything, a fraternity will help teach you
valuable time management and study skills.
Fraternity members can offer you help with
your classes and will make sure you are
studying to get grades equal to your ability.
After investing time and effort into you as a
pledge, the fraternity is committed to helping
you succeed.
What if I can’t afford it?
It is important for you to make sure you can
fulfill the financial obligations of pledgeship
and being a member. However, being in a
fraternity is usually cheaper than living on
campus after your first year (check out the
Finances section on the page 59). Chapter
presidents and treasurers are also generally
willing to work out payment options for
members. Talk to the fraternities you are
interested in about how their dues work and
how it can work into your budget.
What should I wear to rush?
Rush is very informal, so wear whatever you
feel comfortable in. Most chapters will be
dressed in business casual — a collared shirt
and khakis, but you aren’t expected to wear
anything special.

The Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity is a private
association of educated men who endeavor to
live honorably and humanely. Its Brotherhood
is open to men of character, but especially
those gentlemen who feel an affinity with
one another and in the pursuit of excellence.
Although Brothers in Phi Kappa Psi may
differ in their backgrounds and beliefs, they
are united in their dedication to the highest
standards of intellectual, emotional, and
spiritual integrity. Phi Kappa Psi encourages
its Brothers to express the true measure of
their abilities through the great joy of serving
others.
ΦKΣ
Welcome to Georgia Tech! You are coming here
as a student, but you could be more… so much
more. You could be a scholar instead of just
a student, or a leader instead of just another
guy on campus. Better still, you could be a
gentleman that sets an example for others.
Maybe you haven’t thought about joining a
fraternity yet. Maybe you want something
different; a new way to look at brotherhood.
Welcome to Phi Kappa Sigma. We don’t just
build friends, we build brothers for life.

Phi Kappa Theta was formed on April 29th,
1959, with the merging of two Catholic
fraternities: Phi Kappa and Theta Kappa Phi.
Since then, we have opened our doors to
men of any background or religion, leading
to a diverse fraternity that encourages the
development of the individual. We Phi Kaps
focus on the five developmental pillars of our
fraternity: spiritual, fraternal, intellectual,
social, and leadership. Overall, Phi Kappa
Theta encourages the inherent social nature of
man, and develops brothers who are outgoing,
giving, and confident.
ΦΣK
Founded in 1923, our chapter is a diverse group
of men striving to fulfill their cardinal principles
of brotherhood, scholarship and character. Phi
Sigs pride themselves in their ability to work
while maintaining a busy social calendar with
events such as our Moonlight Formal, South of
the Border Party, Pig Jig philanthropy event,
and mixers with sororities. Phi Sig has one
of the newest houses on campus, completed
less than five years ago. The chapter also has
a strong base of active alumni, including John
Brock, current CEO of Coca-Cola Enterprises.
We hope you will come by Phi Sig, meet some of
our brothers, and learn more about us.

The Iota Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi was founded
in 1913 and has enjoyed 100 consecutive
years as an active member of the Greek
Community. This success can be attributed
to the recruitment of enthusiastic young
leaders, the pursuit of academic achievement,
and the preservation of the bonds of
lifelong brotherhood. We are the only Greek
organization in the country to operate our
own philanthropy, The Ability Experience.
When you graduate from GT you will join an

Tau Kappa Epsilon is the largest fraternity
nationwide, and the Beta-Pi chapter here has
staked its claim as one of the finest branches
it has to offer. Not only do members of TKE
enjoy perhaps the strongest social calendar
on campus (stocked with band parties,
date nights, mixers, formals, and more), but
they also have a GPA north of a 3.0. Given
TKE’s success in intramural sports and the
number of leaders it places in organizations
throughout campus, it’s easy to see why
TKE offers the most well rounded fraternal
experience at Georgia Tech.
ΘX
The Alpha Nu chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity
was founded at Tech in 1923. Our motto, “An
Assisting Hand”, charges brothers with being
leaders in their communities and always
lending a helping-hand to those in need. Our
philanthropic values tied together with an
incredible social experience at Theta Chi make
it a great place to call home during college and
hereafter. We remain a competitive force in all
athletics - both at the club level and intramural
level. If a close-knit brotherhood striving for
excellence and making the most out of their
college experiences is what you are looking for,
